Sombra Psychotherapy
Depth therapy for people ready to understand themselves — not just cope
I am a former college professor, President of the Minnesota Jungian Society, and a BBHT-approved supervisor committed to providing thoughtful, culturally responsive, depth-oriented care for those seeking a truly transformative therapeutic experience.
My Work
Do you sense that parts of you are in conflict — outwardly capable, yet inwardly unsettled? Therapy can be more than symptom relief or support; it can be a place for profound self-understanding. I offer a deeply attentive therapeutic environment where complexity is not simplified, but thoughtfully explored.
I will weave IFS (Internal Family Systems) concepts such as 'parts' and 'Self' into a broader depth psychology framework. Thus, helping you recognize and shift long-standing relational dynamics, self-destructive patterns, and develop a more integrated way of being. Our work together is collaborative, nuanced, and paced to allow for lasting change rather than temporary relief. We will work to develop greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and self-trust, along with the freedom to live more deliberately and authentically.
My practice is designed for reflective, growth-oriented adults who are ready to move beyond surface-level coping and engage in meaningful inner work. As a first-generation immigrant with a strong philosophical foundation, I bring a culturally attuned, psychologically sophisticated perspective that honors the many forces shaping your identity — personal history, relationships, culture, and the unconscious patterns that quietly guide your life.
Our Services
Online Individual Therapy
I support individuals navigating young adulthood, immigration-related experiences, identity exploration, and the lifelong process of self-discovery with online individual therapy. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, therapy can be a valuable starting point for personal growth. I specialize in providing individual therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship stress, cultural assimilation stress, perfectionism, and life changes. Working collaboratively, we’ll explore how past and present experiences have shaped your current beliefs and emotional/behavioral patterns. After understanding the past, we will cultivate helpful, positive beliefs and patterns that lead to greater confidence, calmness, and authenticity.
This is depth therapy for people ready to understand themselves — not just cope with mental health symptoms.
Online Immigration Evaluation
I provide comprehensive, professional mental health evaluations for immigration cases (T-visas, Asylum, U-visas, VAWA). As a bilingual clinician, I conduct these interviews in Spanish or English, ensuring your story is accurately heard without the barrier of an interpreter. These assessments are thorough (typically 8–10 pages) and designed to support your legal case with clinical evidence. I complete reports within 5-7 business days of completing our interview process. Please let me know during our phone consult if you have any specific time constraints in your case.

Billing Details
At this time, Sombra Psychotherapy is an ‘out-of-network’ provider. This means your session fee is due at the time of your appointment.
Fee Structure
Initial Consultation (15 min): FREE!
Psychological Intake (60min): $160
Individual Therapy session (55 min): $130-150
I offer a sliding scale based on income, with a minimum of $130. Please reach out with any questions. I am happy to work with you to keep therapy affordable.
Immigration Evaluation (2-4 hours): $900
If you need your report sooner than that, I can expedite it for an additional $200 fee. The interview is delivered to your lawyer in English, but for an additional $50 fee, I can provide you with a copy in Spanish. Additionally, if you do not show up for your immigration Evaluation or fail to cancel your appointment with 48 hours’ notice, you will be charged a $200 fee.
Payment for all services is accepted via credit card, HSA/FSA cards, and other standard electronic payment methods.
Cancellation Policy:
I kindly ask that you provide at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice may incur a $50 late-cancellation fee. This policy helps ensure that appointment times can be offered to other clients if available.
Out-of-Network Benefits:
Upon request, a superbill (a detailed receipt of services) can be provided for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement. We can discuss these further during our consult, and I can help you contact your insurance provider to better understand your out-of-network mental health benefits and coverage.
Good Faith Estimate:
You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” that explains how much your mental health care will cost. Under the law, healthcare providers must provide patients who are not using insurance with an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visithttp://www.cms.gov/nosurprises.
Late/Additional Revisions for Immigration Evaluations
I offer up to 2 “significant” revisions within 30 days of the report's release, and unlimited minor revisions within 60 days of the report's release. If requests for revisions fall outside these parameters, we charge additional fees in 15-minute increments.

1. To protect your privacy and confidentiality, your care is not reported to insurance companies.
2. To give you the best therapeutic approach rather than insurance deciding your treatment.
3. No labeling. You will not carry a diagnosis on your records.
4. The length of therapy depends on your goals and the complexity of the patterns involved, not insurance coverage. Some clients work on a short-term basis on a specific issue. Others choose longer-term depth-oriented work. We will discuss expectations early, so your work is tailored to you.
